Author Spotlight: Jeanine McAdam

From Christina: Today I'd like to welcome author Jeanine McAdam. Her latest romance features a sexy cowboy, a bull named Punisher, a Montana ranch, and a dysfunctional family. Throw in an animal rights activist wearing nothing more than a sign, and...well, I'll let Jeanine tell you all about it! Enjoy.

From Jeanine:

Bull Riding – A
Dangerous Sport

Bull
Riding has been called “the most dangerous eight seconds in sports.” Logan
Cooper, the hero of my latest contemporary romance, THE BULL RIDER AND THE BARE
BOYCOTTER, knows that well. He’s handsome, tough, and he gets hurt a lot.

While
researching bull riding and working to define Logan’s character, I kept coming
across articles with titles like “Is Bull Riding More Dangerous than____?” Fill
in the blank. It could be hockey, football or boxing.

Bull
riders break bones, suffer concussions and dislocate all sorts of body parts. However,
if bull riders don’t ride, they don’t make money. The adage among cowboys is
“It’s not if you get hurt but when…” Riders compete with arms in casts, knees
dislocated and head injuries.

Fifty
percent of all rodeo accidents happen during the bull riding competition.
However bull riding generates the most excitement, has the most fans and makes
the most money. What keeps the cowboys coming back to bull riding? The adrenaline
rush, the lifestyle and obviously the money, plus there are lots of girls.

When
my hero Logan meets Rachel Fox, an animal rights protester, he’s nursing a
recently dislocated shoulder. He puts that pain aside for eight seconds to ride
a bull named Punisher. Then Rachel runs naked into his ring ruining the ride
but starting something else between these two strong-willed opposites.

Excerpt
from THE BULL RIDER AND THE BARE BOYCOTTER:

“Would you please stop gawking
at me and give me a blanket to cover myself with?” Rachel Fox demanded, cupping
her breasts in both hands and shifting on her heels. With a crossed leg she
tried to hide her exposed bottom half and almost fell face first into the
sod-covered floor.

Good God, why did she let Erin
talk her into this?

Honestly, Rachel was more than
willing to do anything to save Punisher and the other bulls from the abuse they
suffered at the hands of cowboys like the man standing before her. But God help
her, she was still shaking from the reaction of that angry mob. And Logan
Cooper had no right spanking her. Now, he was denying her clothes.

Book
Description:

Animal rights activist Rachel Fox is a woman with a mission. The plan is to
step into bull rider Logan Cooper’s ring wearing nothing but a poster calling
the rodeo a ‘blood sport’. While rescuing this passionate protester from a
nineteen hundred pound charging bull Logan decides he likes what he sees. Only
problem, he’s got to direct Rachel’s love away from the livestock and onto him.
With the press hot on their heels, because who isn’t interested in a story
about a bull rider and a naked protester, Logan brings the dark haired, curvy
figured Brooklynite to his Montana ranch.

Except, now that he’s got Rachel in his bed he’s nervous his annoying,
problematic brothers and surly preteen nephew will scare her off. But when
Rachel meets Logan’s deeply flawed family she realizes the bulls aren’t the
only ones who need saving, the Cooper brothers need her help too. The only
problem is Rachel has a secret, after believing she was infertile, it turns out
that this sexy bull rider may have changed her childless fate forever.

Welcome to A Time for Love

It's been said that "to everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven."

I believe that every season is a time for love. Love begins like a tender blossom in spring, bursts into glory in the warmth of summer, stirs again with the cool touch of autumn, and settles down before a cozy fire on cold, snowy days.

Share with me the seasons of love.

All about love, romance, and the heroes and heroines who live in romantic love stories. In the midst of our busy lives, we all need to take time for love.
